More PD Today- Middle School Family Studies and Tech Ed teachers are practicing skills, learning from the experts and sharing ideas for the day!

In the first photo Kevin is standing at a pedal powered table saw!! Just pump with your feet to spin up the blade. A flywheel keeps the momentum going while you make your cut! We also tried a bandsaw, scroll saw and router that worked the same way.

We followed that up with a presentation from Donna at the Kings County Family Resource Centre on their menu of services, best practices with children and how we can collaborate in education!

On Tuesday, we had high school food and child studies teachers come together for presentations and food from Dan at TACOcentric. Dan talked about sourcing local food, the challenges with starting a business and building a menu that is accessible to everyone.

Last week, we celebrated the BFY students from AVRCE, TCRCE and CCRCE who completed 200 hours apprenticing with certified construction tradespeople over the summer. Those students were paid, earned 300 apprenticeship hours and 3 high school co-op credits!

Our afternoon PD, after being at AVFN was with Kevin Wood and his museum and workshop. Kevin took us for a tour and let us try out many of his pedal-powered tools, educating us on the history of many of the technologies we take for granted in schools today.

What an absolute privilege to be on Annapolis Valley First Nations land with Tech Ed and Skilled Trades teachers from the AVRCE. Incredible learning experience and collaboration with Martell Mechanical and Tried and True Builders.

O2 students from AWEC, WK, CK and NKEC are at Camp Brigadoon this week to learn about communication, team work and getting out of your comfort zone! A great way to kick off the school year!
